Starting Regimen Tonight. Question On Face Washing!

So I'm pleased to say I'll be starting the regimen tonight but I have a dilemma.

 

I am aware you are supposed to wash your face twixe daily and I have no problem following the exact instructions except...

 

Would washing my face three times a day make it not work? I don't mean doing the bp three times a day but just washing and moisturizing? Because the problem with me is I have to wear makeup when I go out.

 

So if I get up in the morning..do the regimen...put makeup on..go to work and then want to go out later that night if like to look fresh and shower and redo my makeup. But I would need to do the regimen of course right before I go to bed. Would just washing my face so I can reapply my make up make it not work properly?

 

Does anyone have any experience on anything like this because I'm so serious about clearing up my skin and if it will ruin my progress then I will just stay in all the time cause I've beer wanted it so badly... :(

 

Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Sorry for the long introduction just wanted to make sure I was understood properly

Hi :)

Personally, I don't think that washing/moisturising your face three times a day would make too much of a difference.

I mean, on the Regimen, they really want you to touch your face as little as possible, that's why the washing/moisturising is limited to twice a day. The reason for that is you do not want to wash your face too much, and that also you would be stripping your skin of its natural oils by washing it so much, which could cause skin to become very dry, or oily.

However, in my experience with the Regimen cleanser - it is very, very mild and gentle. Using it three times a day should be fine. If you find your skin becomes too dry after cleansing three times a day, use plenty of moisturiser and add a few jobs of jojoba oil for extra moisture.

I have been in your situation, and many times after work have come home to redo my makeup before going out again. The cleanser is also a great makeup remover, so you don't really need to wash your face twice. Just take a full pump of cleanser, lather it up like normal, and use it on your face while still wearing makeup. The makeup will come right off, and you shouldn't need to cleanse again afterwards. This, of course depends on the amount of makeup you have on. If it is heavy, you may need to do 2 lathers. And then just moisturise after as usual :)

Hope this helps, and good luck with your journey :)

Thank you so much!!!

 

And yes I wouldn't be washing my face three times a day often..if anything just once a week.

 

I really appreciate your advice!
